But low Chinese crude imports cannot continue indefinitely, Vitol senior executive Tom Baker said. "At some point, when they need those barrels, the price needs to go higher and the only solver is to kill demand," he said. Crude oil futures turned lower Thursday after three straight sessions of gains, as a tentative ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon was seen as possibly removing an obstacle in U.S.-...
